Hadiza, one of Buhari’s children from a previous marriage, is now the third wife of the ex-AGF. She was formerly married to Captain Junaid Abdullahi, with whom she had six children.
Halima and Walid's wedding fatiha is slated for August 30, 2025, and will be preceded by a series of pre-wedding activities such as a bridal soiree, Kamu, and a big dinner.
Notably, numerous members of the former first family did not attend the festivities.

Legit.ng earlier reported that one of late Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari’s daughters Aisha spoke glowingly about him, as the country continued to grieve his passing.
Recall that Buhari died on Sunday, 13 July 2025, in a London hospital after a prolonged illness.
Tributes continued to flood in for the former Nigerian leader, whom close acquaintances describe as a caring family man with a strong sense of humility. In an interview with BBC Hausa on Thursday, Aisha Hanan Buhari, one of Buhari's younger children, said losing her father was like losing a part of herself.
“What I will miss most about him is his sense of humour. I look up to him as a part of me,” Hanan said.
She appreciated Nigerians who bore no grudge against her late father, saying:
“First, I want to thank those who forgave him. This is something good for the country, not easy to hold in one’s heart. Nigerians know he always meant well. Sometimes we his children felt jealous. But Baba was for everyone.”
